You know me Lindsay..... I’m not partial to synthetic material tying. I just like the natural stuff. Having said that these do look attractive so I ‘might’ get some fritz. Keep well my friend and stay safe.
Nice work on the video! I have missed seeing you tie. You are doing a great job young man. I like the revisions and feedback that you took into consideration on making your videos better. I really enjoyed seeing the changes since you first premiered the squirmy worm. Keep up great work and stay healthy. I look forward to seeing your next featured pattern!
A great lure, loved, may try it tomorrow - if the rainbows aren't too sleepy. If (like me) new to fly tying, I found it easier to split the tube - after it's tied. Otherwise, the split tube tends to wander off the top of the hook.
That second fly almost a albino bibio. The merger of the colours adds so much to the life and attraction effects of the pattern. Plus that is the subtle extra you add to give difference. The difference that could help induce a take from a fish that sees the same ole thing all day every day. Trout may have a brain the size of a baked bean. But they soon equate that same old orange blob with every time I see that some of my shoal disappear. So it then avoids the threat
Hi Lindsay, I am also a bit OCD and like the near "perfect" look. With our fishery closed it will be a load of fly tying and gardening ….. 12 weeks Jings! Stay well Jim
They look great Lindsay!! I've tied a few blobs and FABs but to be honest I've never tried one out on a reservoir or loch. It's not that I think they are flies from the dark side it's that I just wouldn't feel confident using them and you need confidence to catch. I'll still tie a few tho (it's an excuse to order more stuff!). Thanks for the upload lindsay, stay safe and healthy! ATB Chris
Chris, I hate tying them to be honest. It's not really fly tying. The thing is though is I really like catching fish and these just get the job done. You see and take care pal.
Hi lindsey, an easy way to wrap the 2 fritz together is to wrap them around each other first then wrap them around the hook. Hope that makes sense? I find it easier anyway :-p give it a try and see what you think.
I would have thought when you cut the foam the second time i would have thought you put the cut either side of the hook before tying in.are those scissors italian embroidery scissors?
Hi Anthony, If you put the foam either side it can slip down. This impedes the gape off the hook and you don't want that. You end up not getting hook ups but just hard takes. Yes the scissors are Italian Embroidery scissors, they are very good.
Hi Lindsay, big fan of Blobs, Fabs, Boobies, tied many 100's, yours look v good. I would suggest to anyone who uses fritz to invest in a Foam Damper Pad, [couple of quid] you can get them on Ebay. It makes tying with Fritz a doddle by allowing you to keep it moist or wet as you ty, [tyers pref] and you can see the finshed effect as soon as you have tied the fly. Keeps your mouth free of bits and who knows what as well! Also great when using Marabou. Stay safe all. Roger

Tight lines👍
Really nice effect the way one Fritz bleeds into the other
Aye it works really well.

Interesting fly! How would you fish it. To me, it resembles a egg of sorts. Thanks and thanks for the videos.
Hi Vincent, it can be fished a number of ways. On a sunk line at high speed is popular here in the UK.

Thanks for the input Rodger can you give me the link for the pad you have mentioned please?
What other size hooks do you use for blobs ?
Usually tie them on #10 and #12 but will go down to #14 no smaller though.
@@lindsayiflyfish thanks mate. What size booby eyes do you use with the 10 and 12 and 14 ?
@@tristanwood2512 5mm and 3mm
@lindsayiflyfish thanks mate, will go start tying them up.
